Data Center Networking

In today’s network, data center networking helps organizations optimize operational and capital costs and respond to business requirements. To optimize costs, organizations must increase utilization of their IT assets, maintain operational simplicity, and provide a solid business case and ROI for network investment. When done right data center networking enables the ability to respond to business requirements and ensures business continuity, maintains security and regulatory compliance, supports rapid application and service deployment, and supports user and application mobility.

CCS has a complete portfolio and solid partnerships with the industry leaders in data center networking. CCS has made large investment in its networking consultants to ensure we have the skills and experience to deliver work class data center solutions with leading edge technologies. CCS has delivered several data center solutions in Bermuda, through the Caribbean, North America and Europe. CCS’s data center networking portfolio includes:

Arista

Arista Networks is the leader in building scalable, high-performance and ultra-low-latency networks for today’s data center and cloud computing environments. Purpose-built hardware, and Arista EOS, provide single-binary system images across all platforms, maximum system uptime, stateful fault repair, Zero Touch Provisioning, Latency Analysis and a fully accessible Linux Shell. Arista Ethernet switches are the perfect network solution for your most demanding workloads. With native support for VMware Virtualization and hundreds of Linux applications integrated into hardware platforms designed to meet the stringent power and cooling requirements of today’s most demanding data centers, Arista delivers the most efficient and best performing 10Gb Ethernet platforms.

Cisco Nexus

The Cisco Nexus Series switches are modular network switches designed for the data center. The Cisco Nexus family of switches is a primary part of the unified fabric pillar of the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage architectural framework. These switches are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the next-generation data center. Not simply bigger or faster, these switches offer infrastructure that can be scaled cost-effectively and that helps you increase energy, budget, and resource efficiency. The Nexus switches also deliver a transport that can navigate the transition to 10 Gigabit Ethernet and unified fabric and can handle architectural changes such as virtualisation, Web 2.0 applications, and cloud computing.

Cisco Catalyst Switches offer high-availability features help ensure nonstop connectivity and business continuity. In-service software upgrades virtually eliminate downtime for updates, while the virtual switching system (VSS) enables two active switches to appear as one, with a single point of management.

Cisco MDS

The Cisco MDS 9000 Series Multilayer SAN Switches can help lower the total cost of ownership of the most demanding storage environments. By combining a robust and flexible hardware architecture with multiple layers of network and storage-management intelligence, the Cisco MDS 9000 Series helps you build highly available, scalable storage networks with advanced security and unified management.

Nuage

Nuage Networks fully virtualizes and automates any data center network infrastructure, transforming it into a reflexive environment that instantaneously establishes the network services required to deliver cloud applications across thousands of tenants in a policy-driven manner.

The Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP) lays the foundation for an open and dynamically controlled data center network fabric to accelerate application programmability, facilitate unconstrained mobility, and maximize compute efficiency for cloud service providers, webscale operators & leading tech enterprises across the globe. Nuage Networks Virtualized Network Service (VNS) solution aligns the network service to the needs of the enterprise and provides the flexibility to deliver an unconstrained network experience that matches the dynamic cloud environment.

VMware NSX

VMware NSX is the network virtualization platform for the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC). By bringing the operational model of a virtual machine to your data center network, you can transform the economics of network and security operations. NSX lets you treat your physical network as a pool of transport capacity, with network and security services attached to VMs with a policy-driven approach.

NSX network virtualization is a transformative architecture from VMware that enables the full potential of a Software-Defined Data Center, making it possible to create and run entire networks in parallel on top of existing network hardware. This results in faster deployment of workloads, as well as greater agility in the face of increasingly dynamic data centers.
